RE: 12 of 81, Poems from the Tao, Poetry, Photography, and Spoken Word

Smile at your desires
Let them pass in and out of view

Hive is a friggin' Temple of Taoism. I desired making a ton of money on the blockchain, and Pryde ... that desire made me smile. But like water through a sieve, my desire has long since passed in and out of view. Beaten into submission by Millennial code-writers with a pocket full of pesos and a penchant for a poem only if it's about "decentralization."

It's hard to make women weep with a theme like decentralization. Indeed, it will often get you punched in the mouth.

"Darling, I'm not seeing other women ... I'm decentralizing".

I've often wondered how Shakespeare would have faired on crypto-based social media. "To Be or Not To Be" ... $1.67 plus a penny from Tipu. I think the trick to a poet maintaining his or her sanity is, like you demonstrated in your video, the utilization of calming background music. Given my personality, I would probably require a whole retinue of lutists.

FunFact: "Lutists" used to be referred to as "Luters." As they weren't getting paid anymore than poets, they went on a rampage, stealing everything they could get their hands on. With the passage of time, the spelling changed to "looting" and "looters" as the practice and its perpetrators are called today.
